Rainbow Ventures - Brothers Forever

The book also probes into the unknown. Gallenberger describes using Monroe Institute’s audio technology to enter very deep states of meditation to discover what happens to loved ones immediately after their death - the orientation process to non-physical life. He then follows his brother’s afterlife experience for a period of five years. It is an exciting and heart-felt book that explores many important ideas.

Quotes From Book:
1. “His life suggests that earthly rewards don’t necessarily come to the good. Abundance comes to those who feel entitled to it, and takes risks to allow their potency to grow. Goodness is of great value, and it is its own reward. But it is essential to feel deserving at a deep level, for abundance in the form of love, money, meaningfulness, or grace to be fully received. Free will demands this. We are free to reject any or all benefit that could come to us. I raise my daughter to do good deeds and to feel worthy of all blessings.”

2. “Life also demands surrender – letting go of fears and attachments. To live well, we must die each day to what is no longer useful, living and vital in our lives…rebirth each morning to the infinity of possibilities. Few people practice and are good at these min-deaths. My brother surrendered his life with a gunshot rather than surrendering his deadening thoughts and behaviors. How many more of us slowly and quietly lose what makes us feel most alive, rather than give up an attitude or behavior that is no longer productive? “

3. “I am reminded of the time I went to my daughters first play. She was in kindergarten. Her wise old teacher set up a simple play, The Pied Piper of Hamlin. The most advanced child got to be the piper. The others got to be mice. All they had to do was follow the piper and go 'Squeak, squeak' What could go wrong?

A pounding scrambling could be heard behind the curtain, lights dimmed and the curtain rose, revealing twenty mice-children, staring strait ahead as if they were about to be shot. The kids were dead serious about how they looked and nervous that they would forget their lines. As the play proceeded, bedlam began. Mice ran into each other from all directions, whiskers and tails akimbo. The young actors looked surprised, offended and distressed yet proceeded through the play as each defined it. The play met all definitions of disaster.

The audience however, comprised of parents, was overwhelmed with love and delight at their children’s efforts. Tears of pride and love glistened on the faces of these moms and dads. Crying too, I thought 'This is how God must look at us in our struggles and errors. The play was perfect imperfection. If we could always look at ourselves with a love as pure as these parents had for their children, we would always feel safe and valued.'

4. “Myths are a powerful influence on our perception and experience. Our cultural myth of a broken heart, while speaking accurately of our pain, does a great disservice to our true nature, and underestimates the resilience of the human spirit. My model is that at the deepest level of reality there exists a completeness and a perfection. From this model, an image emerged to save me from bitterness and fear. The image came in that second winter after Pete’s death, while I was struggling with my own hardness and broken heart. The image was of water. That liquid was my answer to my dilemma about openness and protection. If I viewed my heart, my feeling center, as a container filled with water, a great ocean – always complete in itself, yielding easily, full alone, full when embracing some person, full again when the person was removed – if I could do this then I would indeed be open and non-resisting, yet unable to be devastated by the leaving of a love. This has worked well for me many times since, through the loss of my mother and others close to me. My myth of an ocean heart – strong and complete, yet yielding and embracing – reflects our ever-renewing nature and allows healing.”
